Hi readers. Today we look at how to produce paints which you could equally commercialize if you so wish.
There
is no need to bore you with all the technicalities involved in paint production
like Stabilization, reduction, filling, hiding, pigment-volume concentration
(p.v.c) etc, but if you are interested, email.
As
is our method here, I want to go straight and give you the direct information
needed, so that anyone, even a child of five can do it.
Equipments needed
- I. Mixer: If you have a mechanical mixer, that will reduce the amount of stirring you are going to do otherwise a vessel and a stirrer will be okay.
- II. Weighing Balance

PROCEDURE
- Measure
out 1.95 liter of water and add titanium dioxide to it.
- Add
Aluminum Silicate, Kaolin and calcium carbonate in this order and mix very
well.
- Then
add the preservative, stabilizer, defoamer and the P.V.A and mix.
- Check
the PH to make sure that it is within 8.0 to 8.5, otherwise adjust with
the ammonia liquor.
- Also,
check the capacity of your paint to determine if you will still add the
remaining part of the water.
- Finally
add the kerosene. This will be the last thing to be added, otherwise the
quality of your paint will be affected.
- Then,
your paint is ready.
